Brynamman Octogenarians' Demise.
Brynamman Octogenarians' Demise. We regret to announce this week the death of two Brynamman respected octogenarians— a pair of the old school-whose death means the severance. of two connecting links be- tween the past and present circumstances arc, conditions of the village's life and history. The first to pass away was Mrs. Lettice Jones, Crown Cottages, better known as Lettice y Crown." She had reached the ripe old age of 88, and was among the oldest of the elders of the district. She had been gifted with a strong and healthy constitution which had needed absolutely no medicine to keep it in good sound condition during her long life. She Jeaves one son, Mr. Davie. {ones, Crown; and three daughters, Mrs. Isaac Morris, Glyn Road, Mrs. George Morgan, and Mrs. Gwilym Jones, Park Street. Of deceased's brothers and sisters, only one survives, Mrs. T. Evans, Carbon- dale, U.S.A. The other death is that of the genial old gentleman, Mr. Thomas Morgan, Mountain Road, popularly known as Thomas Morgan, Pantyclogau," he having derived this append- age from the na.me of a farm at Gwynfe, where he once resided. He was 83 years of age, and was a brother of the late Rev. D. Morgan, Ystradrellte, and an uncle of the late Rev. D. Morgan and Mr. Morgan Morgan, schoolmaster. To mourn their Iocs there are left three sons-Mr. Dd. Morgan, Angel Hotel, Clanammar Mr. Willie Morgan, Cannon Street, and Mr. Johnny Morgan, Mountain Road; and one daughter— Mrs. Herbert Thomas, Ohio, U.S.A.; while the mother of Miss Thomas, the Welsh- American nightingale, who has made a name for herself as a brilliant vocalist in the States, is an adopted daughter of deceased.

Discharged Men's Meeting.I
Discharged Men's Meeting. I I AMMANFORD'S ENTHUSIASM. I A meeting of the discharged sailors and soldiers was held at the Castle Hotel, Ammanford, on Monday evening last, under the presidency of Lieut. J. Richards. A record attendance was noted, and Mr. W. O. Malyn, D.C.M., Swansea, attended in the interests of the Welsh National Federation. Mr. Fred Thomas, of the Amman Valley Chronicle, the convener of the'meeting, said that since he had been at Ammanford there appeared to be a feeling of discontentment among the discharged men. l had made enquiries, and found that the organisation once introduced, had through lack of co-operation become defunct. He challenged the late secretary to prove otherwise. At every little village and town there was a biandh. Ammanford was the exceplioo, and cared nought as to the future of the men who had fought. They (the discharged men) were not fighting for their own interests, but for the interests and future of the dependents of the fallen heroes. He appealed to them to once again come together and unite m a bond of comradeship, and thereby uphold the ideals manifested when together in the trenches. (Applause) Mr. Jack Leyshon spoke at some length on the lack of organisation during the existence of the now defunct branch.. V e".Jt. tended that the affair was run by a clique, and as the result the interest of the members died away. Mr. Tom Rainford, D.C.M., the late sec- retary, stated that some time ago he convened a meeting of 160 members, of which only 25 turned up. The fault lay in the holding of the meetings in a public-house. As long as they held their meetings on licensed premises, outside support would be lacking. He urged the need of co-operation and the organising of a branch on a sound basis. Mr. W. O. Malyn, D.C.M., Swansea, said that the membership of the Welsh National Federation to-day reached a total of 40,000. He was pleased that they at Ammanford had come together again. As the organiser at Swanfeea, his services in West Wales were in such great demand, and every little village wanted his personal attendance, that he was unable to comply with the great demand. The following resolution was then unani- mously carried: That the Amman ford Branch of the Welsh Federation of Dis- charged Sailors and Soldiers be re-organised, and that a strong committee be appointed to carry on with the work of organising." Mr. Fred Thomas, late secretary of the Llandovery Branch, and now of Ammanford, was appointed organising secretary. The fol- lowing gentlemen were appointed on the committee:—Sergt.-Major Jones, Messrs. F. Dawson, Jack Leyshon, Sergt. Jones, Messrs. Wm. Jones (Bettws), Fletcher, D. hn Lewis, Leonard, Quartermaster-Sergt. Clement, and Lieut. J. Richards. It was unanimously decided to support the candidature of Mr. Frank Dawson at the forthcoming Urban Council election, and that he be known as the Bit-Badge candidate. The committee was instructed to meet at the Ivorites' Hall to-morrow (Friday) evening.

Our Poultry Column.
Our Poultry Column. DUCK MANAGEMENT. There are many people in the country who could keep ducks with profit to themselves if only they would take up this branch of the industry. To be successful with fowls they need a nice grass run, or an intensive house, whereas the duck does not need the former and cannot be kept under the latter condi- tions. Ducks must have a certain amount of freedom, and it is useless to. attempt to keep them confined with any degree of success. They can be kept on any waste land where lucre i; any rough herbage, or where they may have a clean run. There are acres of land where there is very little growth, such as rocky positions or ground near mines which is just a waste of rough stones which is no use for any other stock. Here the duck can be kept successfully, although it must not be assumed that ducks do not need green food, for they consume a lot; but the refuse from a garden is all they need, and some should be given each day. When breeding, any old cabbage can be supplied, or mangold chopped up finely will make a change and prove a good feed. The method of feeding can be different from that of poultry, because they can take a much coarser food and more of it, and the green ft.jd can be reckoned as part of their diet. Naturally, they require a certain amount of meat, but this allowed for, the rest can consist of odd scraps of vegetables such as carrots, parsnips or beet boiled, and then scald some bran and dry the whole off with middlings. If it is possible to boil the bran, so much the better, for then it is greatly improved as a meal and becomes more easily diigested. As a rule, a cheap rice can be boiled, and then mixed with half bran and middlings; this makes a cheap and yet efficient feed. All such food can be im- proved by the addition of a little oatmeal or Sussex ground oats, but the meat must be added, anl up to 20 per cent. of the whole will be found to suit them well. All birds being fattened should have more oatmeal, and all soft, because the sooner they put on flesh the quicker you can turn them into money. Give the food in troughs, and see that each lot is cleaned up, otherwise reduce the amount next time of feeding. The breeding pen can have one grain feed each day. As stated last week, the Aylesbury pure or crossed with the Pekin is the one for table, and the Indian Runner for laying. But pos- sibly some will want a bird which will answer both purposes, and yet be easy to manage. The Rouen is one of the best for this, and when of a good strain they will lay a lot of eggs, and yet make a good table bird. In shape of body they are like the Aylesbury, but being of dark plumage, never look so clear in body because of the pin feathers, which will shew through the skin. But some markets do not mind this, and look more at the weight than the colour; so this variety finds a ready sale. Of course, on a pond or on a clean grass run they look very pretty, and will not shew any dirt; so this maes them a favourite for muddy ponds. Another good duck- is the Buff Orpington, which, though not big, is an excellent layer, and yet is a plump bird for the table. These can be bred very successfully without a pond, providing the stock has been reared without swimmmg water. I have known them lay up to 120 eggs in the year and yet never had any water except for drinking.

Pals o' Mine.
Pals o' Mine. I During my period of service with the Colours, I chanced to meet several quaint and witty characters, and in particular I wiU refer to T-. We were stationed in Pem- brokeshire, and our mode of living created unrest among the troops, and ultimately resulted in many taking what we described French leave." T reached a well- known tinplate town, and there his conscience failed him. He returned to his unit, and naturally on the next morning appeared before the Colonel. An excuse for his absence was sought for, and he replied that he had only intended taking off the afternoon, but when near the station a Salvation Army band struck up the National Anthem. The result was obvious. He stood to attention, and while so doing the last train went out. I may not be right in stating that the charge of absent without leave" was dismissed. On another occasion T- marched on to the parade ground with his chin strap down. This was a breach of discipline, and came under the different offences in the constitution of King's Regulations. The only excuse was the poor quantity of the rations and the using of the chin strap to keep T together. The Colonel was bound to laugh. The last I heard of T was through an addition in the Roll of Honour. Sixty-six was another of the humorous individuals I came in contact with. He on one occasion made a bold bid at desertion, but was unfortunately caught while milking a cow on a certain farm. He was of a sancti- monious disposition, and even when under heavy shell fire would exclaim, 'Tis no good of vexing." He was sent out on sniping expeditions, and would more than often lose sight of his comrades. On one occasion four or five shots rang out, and came from the direction of Sixty-six." His pals crawled up to him to investigate the cause of the out- burst. (Ammunition at the time was short). All they could get from him was, I've got him; I' ve got the sod." At the foet of a tree clbse by lay the corpse of a Turk. One of the fellows, a collector of curios, caught hold of the fez," but was nearly "gassed." 1 he body had been lymg in the branches for some days, and Sixty-six's accurate aim had removed it therefrom. Many of us do meet with disappointments ia life. Another, a very dear pal o' mine, whom I met a few days before the outbreak of war. I chanced to be staying at the time at a well- known Welsh spa. Little did I think of meeting him at Gallipoli. How he dodged the medical examinations puzzles me, but be did. So frail and a victim of the White Scourge—Consumption. He roughed it, and during the latex days of the wai paid the supreme sacrifice. His mortal remains lie somewhere on thd, Somme. I hope to visit the spot some day. During our bitter struggles and our glorious fight for Freedom we re- maintd together. He never feared death, and set an example to the regiment for courage. An attack of dysentery broaght him back to Blighty, but only for a short while. He volunteered again, and landed in France. He was of a humotous and cheerful disposition, and one amusing story is told of him. 1 He spent a few days at S- on being con- valescent and after his Gallipoli exploit. Together with a comrade he visited the local house of amusement, only to find standing room. He immediately placed his arm in a sling, and his pal made use of his walking- stick. That was during the early days of the war. He went up to the manager, and in formed him of their experiences and the extent of their supposed wounds. They ap- pealed for sitting room, and the manager placed the circumstances before the audience, who were most eager to oblige the heroes. The heroes laughed to themselves, and that was all. There are many other chums of mine whom I could hold responsible for amusing inci dents, and shall record these some other time. EX-PRIVATE.

Ammanford Police Court.
Ammanford Police Court. Monday, March 17th.-Before Mr. D. Richards, Tirydail House (in the chair) and Mr. John Lewis, Bryn-Rhug. RIDING ON TRAMS. j Isaac Davies and Joseph Griffiths were charged under Section 42, Sub-section 2 cf the Coal Mines Act, 1911. Mr. T. M. Evans, M.A., represented the colliery company. Mr. Fisher, the manager at the Gelly- ceidrim Colliery, stated the defendants were seen riding on full trams on the 21st of last month. The practice was an extremely dangerous one. Proceedings were instituted in the interest of the men as well as the Company. Should anything have happened, the management would be subject to much criticism, and the offence was the second committed within a month. The Chairman said it was obvious that a fine of I Os. would not put a stop to the practice. On this occasion they would in- crease the fine to 15s., and if the offence would continue they would make the fine up to f.5 and advocate's fee. Defendants, who did not appear, had sent admitting the offence, and were, as stated, fined 15s. each. INDECENCY. I Rees Rees, Marlais House, Llandebie; and Peter Killmartin, Ystodwen, Llandebie, were summoned by P.S. Morgan and P.C. Higgins respectively for indecent offences committed in the parish of Llandebie. The former asked for time to pay the fine of 15s. imposed. The Chairman: Are you a collier? Defendant: Yes. The Cha irman: You, a collier, asking for time to pay. Are you married? Defendant: No; I live with my parents. Time was allowed. Killmartin was ordered to pay a like amount. DRUNK AND DISORDERLY. Thomas Evans, Tynllan, was charged by P.S. Morgan with being drunk and disorderly in Llandebie on the 1st inst. Defendant was using obscene language and challenging to fight. The Chairman: Is he a pugilist?—No; but he has been in the Army. The same complainant charged David Evans, AelybTyn, with a like offence com- mitted on the I st inst. The Chairman: Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Defendant: Yes. The Chairman: Well, you could save all that if you kept sober. THE RESULT OF A COLD. I John Lyons was found by P.C. Higgins fast asleep on the roadside at 11.5 p.m. He had a loaf of bread and some bacon by his side. The constable woke him, and found that he was drunk. The Chairman: This is not the first time you have been here. You seem to be getting quite used to it. Defendant: I had a cold and took a drop of whisky, which affected me. I will give it up altogether.' Fined 10s. Ivor Jones, Gorsddu, was seen by P.S. Beynon in a fighting attitude on the Square at Penygroes on the 28th February Jast. He was drunk and wanting to fight another man. The Chairman: Do you like coming here? Defendant: No. How many tunes have you been here? 1 don t know. The Chairman: You cannot count. Fined I Os. I NO LIGHTS. I William Griffiths, Glynhir Farm, was sum- moned for driving without lights in King's Road, Llandebie, at 7.35 p.m. on the 4th inst. Defendant did not appear. P.C. Higgins deposed to seeing defendant on the date in question driving two horses attached to a cart. He had neither front or rear lights. Defendant, when spoken to by the constable, said that he had been delayed and thought of being home soorer Fined 30.. Bt
